I went to a zoo once. There was only a dog there. It was a Shih Tzu. -
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.

You should drink those quickly, they're all out of date. -

Merry Christmas you lot. -
Hi all, As I struggle to get to grips with bronze halfpennies, I'd be grateful if someone could check my guesses please. F282? Thanks, Jon

I think Colin Cooke should be reliable. -

A brave call from that photo. Fingers crossed. -
The US "unique" - i.e. ten a penny.

This horror I think.

Coin prices continue to rise

I remember an Estonian decathlete called Erki Nool which to me sounded distinctly like a sports injury. -
I'd send it back.

I once asked him about a 1797 penny, which he immediately relisted for £100 more than it was advertised for.

I've always thought torcoins was a complete shyster. Exorbitant prices for genuine coins, but this does take the biscuit.

Thank you. If I'd read the article properly I'd have seen that 1875 obverse 11 is only paired with J2. -

Dracott reverse J# or J2 please? Britannia's eye does seem to be recessed but I'm unconvinced by the date - width seems right for J2 but the numerals aren't as thin as I would expect. -

Only from the point of view that this is the first coin I have used in a domestic transaction with a monarch other than The Queen. Apart from that it's just as collectible as any other 50p to me. If I come across a commemorative I keep them but I have little interest in modern mint issues. The quality of our coins has taken a real nosedive in the last 20 years. I mean, Paddington? F****** Paddington?

Let's not forget that this is the second invasion of Ukraine, and that Crimea is theirs and should be returned to them.

Are you kidding? ebay tacitly encourages the selling of fakes by paying no more than lip service to their "policing". They don't care what sells, as long as it sells and they make money.

Auction House Fees
mrbadexample replied to Kipster's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
